20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 204 Difficulties at home and abroad
Bai Yuqing lifted up her skirt, crossed the threshold, walked slowly to the main seat and sat down.

The servants followed him into the house, bringing tea and water to both the host and the guests, which was natural.

"Brothers, please."

After saying that, Bai Yuqing took the lead, took a few sips, and chatted a few words, which was considered as due etiquette.

Guan Wei put down the tea bowl and suddenly caught a glimpse of a blue and white porcelain pot on the table beside Bai Yuqing. A burst of hot water was coming out of the mouth, and he didn't know what was brewed in it.

When Bai Yuqing saw this, in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, she smiled and explained: "Oh, this is the water made by Lady Red Mushroom. I usually drink some Baibaihuo. It's very painful. If you don't mind it, I'll pour it for you." Want to try a cup?"

Red Mushroom Girl, that’s really painful from the inside out!
Just then, who wouldn’t be angry when there was such a frenzy in the backyard?
When Guan Wei heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Young aunt and grandma, you're welcome. Let's just have tea."

Bai Yuqing saw that the two of them had no intention of being suspicious, so she felt relieved and asked: "Brothers, take the time to come to my place today. Do you have anything to tell our Bai family?"

It's hard to hit a smiling person with your hand.

The two families have come to this point, and although Guan Wei and others have gained the upper hand, they cannot be resurrected, and it is really difficult for them to claim to be the winners.

Seeing the Bai family lowering themselves so low, Lao Liu was quite embarrassed and said hurriedly: "There are no orders. The two brothers came here just to tell the young aunt and grandma that Mr. Zhang Jiu has been arrested by the trail."

Bai Yuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Previously, Jiang Xiaodao agreed to make peace on the condition that one of them was to keep Dong Shaode, and the other was to let the Bai family catch Zhang Jiuye.

Bai Yuqing did not release any news of peace.At the same time, Trumpet Mouth spread rumors that the Bai family's translator had been detained by Jiang Xiaodao, making people mistakenly think that the peace talks had failed.

Hu Xiaoyan sent people to stir up trouble and forced Zhou Yunfu to return to Fengtian to take charge.

In this way, after the old man comes back, he must send someone to the Bai family to inquire about the situation and find out the manpower and strength of Jiang Xiaodao - after all, only the Bai family has the most say in this matter.

But God is not as good as man, Zhang Jiuye is a monkey, and when he sees that Zhou Yunfu's momentum is not right, he immediately prepares to run away.

Thanks to Guan Wei who had previously found out the location of the old man's secret residence, Jiang Xiaodao was able to arrange his spies in advance and intercept Zhang Jiuye halfway.

Although the situation did not happen as expected, the outcome remained the same.

"That's great! Although I didn't help much, I did everything I should have done. In this case, the matter of making peace -"

"Don't worry about that." Guan Wei quickly took over, "We two uncles know Xiaodao's temper very well. We will never go back on your word, otherwise we wouldn't come together. Right, Lao Qi? Lao Qi!"

Gong Baonan was in a daze, his arm was slapped by Lao Liu, and then he came back to his senses. Regardless of what the two said, he just nodded in agreement: "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

A heart that was hanging in the air finally fell to the ground.

In any case, the pressure from outside the family has been reduced by most.

Bai Yuqing hurriedly suggested: "Well, in two days, I will set up a cage and we will set up a table in Juxiang Building. This can be regarded as turning hostility into friendship. I also invite two of you. I will definitely come over to support you."

It was embarrassing to say this.

Who wants to eat at the same table with the enemy who killed his father?

But the young aunt and grandma had to say this.

Moreover, the bigger the meal, the better.

Only in this way can we achieve the purpose of spreading the word and letting everyone know that the remaining "Owl" people agree to make peace with the Bai family.

Set up Jiang Xiaodao so that he cannot go back on his word easily.

Unless - he is a shameless person at all...

As for the humiliation and pain involved, it is just like the pot of red mushroom water on the table. You can endure it and then swallow it.

Being able to endure what others cannot tolerate, even when Guan Wei and Gong Baonan saw him, they couldn't help but admire him secretly in their hearts.

While talking, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The three of them looked up and saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, holding a frozen pear in her hand and walking into the house curiously.

Bai Yuqing immediately frowned and scolded softly: "Xiaoxue, what are you doing in here? Get out quickly!"

The little girl was not timid, she just looked at the sixth and seventh children with a wary expression, and then asked: "Did you kill my grandpa and uncle?"

Guan Wei and Gong Baonan were startled. You looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't know how to answer the question for a while.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Bai Yuqing's face froze, anxious and scared, and she shouted sternly, "They are guests, how can you talk like that!"

The little girl pointed at Lao Liu and Lao Seven and said, "Auntie and the others said they are enemies."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yuqing stood up immediately, rushed to the little girl in a few steps, and slapped her cruelly.

"How dare you talk nonsense! Apologize to the guest!"

The little girl suddenly said "Wow" and burst into tears.

Although the mother feels sorry for her little daughter, she must not let her family show any signs of revenge in front of Guan Wei and Gong Baonan. Otherwise, her efforts to save the lives of the family members may fall short at any time.

The little girl cried and apologized to Guan Wei and Gong Baonan.

To express her apology, she also deliberately handed over the black frozen pear in her hand.

Guan Wei felt bored, so he stood up and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Tong Yan Wuji. Young aunt and grandma, please go to work first, we brothers will leave now - Tsk! No, Lao Qi, what are you doing?" Do you also want children’s things?”

Gong Baonan shrugged, took a bite of the frozen pear, and said to the little girl, "It's quite sweet, thank you!"

At this time, the old woman in the courtyard hurried in and blamed herself: "Young aunt, I'm sorry, we don't have enough manpower at the moment. I just accidentally let this child..."

"Okay, okay, take her out quickly." Bai Yuqing looked haggard, and her little daughter's cry made her even more flustered, "Brothers, I'm really sorry for making you laugh."

Guan Wei and Gong Baonan couldn't bear this, so they just left in a hurry.

Bai Yuqing personally sent the two of them out of the house.Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door of the house, there was another burst of shouting and killing outside.

Guan Wei and Gong Baonan immediately put their hands into their arms, but upon closer inspection, it didn't look like a trap.

Just outside the door, someone took the lead and shouted: "Let the person in charge of the Lao Bai family come out! Stop pretending to be a coward!"

"The factory was bombed and the workers were injured. You should compensate for the work-related injuries. How about three melons and two dates to be sent to beggars?"

"Fortunately, your old man from the Bai family came from the Xi family business, and now he has learned to bully others, you are a bitch like a bastard!"

“Fuck you, give me the money!”

"If you don't give me the money, I'll set your Bai family's house on fire!"

"Give me money! Give me money! Give me money..."

Although the number of people outside could not be clearly seen through the gate of the house, the earth-shattering shouts of killing were enough to make people frightened.

At the same time, a few bricks, broken pieces, and dog feces flew down from the wall from time to time...

The black painted door also made a "bang" sound after being hit, as if it was about to break apart at any moment.

Guan Wei took two steps back, took out his hand, and asked: "Young aunt, grandma, this is..."

Bai Yuqing lamented and said helplessly: "It's the workers from the textile factory. They have already paid some compensation in accordance with the requirements of the Commercial Port Bureau, but these people are still not satisfied. They are afraid that we will leave, so they come here every now and then to cause trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "crack" sound - the glass in the wing room shattered.

Then, there was a burst of cheers outside the house.

With the Bai family's guards gone, those people naturally became bolder.

Hearing the noise, the servants in the backyard rushed over, picked up sticks, knives, axes, and picks one by one, and hurriedly ran to block the door.

Chu Liangsheng also rushed over, raised his hand to protect him and said, "My young aunt, please go and hide in the backyard."

"Hide?" Guan Wei pointed at the door of the house, "How long can this broken door hold up? It's about to fall apart."

"Hey! Mr. Liu, they can only make a fuss here for a while. When the commotion gets louder and the patrol police are called, they immediately disperse. Seeing the excitement, they are actually not in the same place at all."

Bai Yuqing asked, "Housekeeper, are the houses in the backyard stable?"

Chu Liangsheng said with a sad face, "Oh! Young aunt and grandma, do you still need to ask? Those grandmas are also in trouble. As soon as they heard something moving outside, now they all ran into their respective houses. You are hiding, how dare you come out!"

Bai Yuqing nodded, then said: "Brothers, I'm really sorry, I can only ask you to be aggrieved and leave through the back door."

Guan Wei didn't care - the back door was the back door!
In his life, he had never walked through the front door a few times when transferring property.

Seeing that the two of them had no objections, Bai Yuqing led Lao Liu and Lao Qi and turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Entering the backyard, the aunts and ladies in each room who had just been yelling and swearing were all scared now. They all cared about the cat in the house, holding on to the window sill, and looking at the situation outside with a sly look.

When they arrived at the back door, Bai Yuqing was still uneasy and did not dare to open the door easily.

When Guan Wei saw this, he didn't refuse. He immediately stepped up to his waist, touched the wall with his toes, hooked his right hand, and climbed over the wall like a loach.

After a while, there was a knock on the back door.

Bai Yuqing opened the courtyard door and saw that the back street was deserted, so she turned sideways and let Gong Baonan out, and the three of them said goodbye.

Guan Wei cupped his fists and bowed: "It's not easy for my young aunt and grandma to manage a family. I really admire Guan. Please stay. Our brothers will leave now."

"and many more!"

For some reason, Bai Yuqing suddenly stopped the two of them.

Gong Baonan turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"This..." Bai Yuqing hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Brothers, Xiaoxue just now - oh, that's the little girl, my little daughter - she is still a child, ignorant, all nonsense , you...you must not take it seriously."

The look and tone of the young aunt's grandmother were obviously flustered, and even a little stuttered.

Guan Wei and Gong Baonan looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, young aunt, as long as you are here, I will not regret making peace. This is not only what Xiaodao said, but also what we both said. of."

Bai Yuqing took a deep breath and said quickly: "Thank you, thank you two brothers."

"Young aunt and grandma, stay!"

"Two brothers, walk slowly."

After closing the door, the shoulders of the young aunt and grandmother of the Bai family immediately sank, as if there was a heavy burden on her shoulders, and she even staggered in her steps.

She slowly walked back to her west wing. The shouting outside the house became more and more intense, with no intention of stopping.

Bai Yuqing rubbed her temples and took a sip of the bitter red mushroom water.

After a while, he was about to get up and go back to the study to continue checking the accounts, when Xiaoxue's figure appeared at the door again.

The little girl stopped crying, her face tightened, and she glanced at the busy chattering servants in the front yard and the gravel scattered on the ground. She suddenly shuddered and said pitifully: "Mom, I'm scared."

Hearing this, Bai Yuqing sat on the chair and waved to her little daughter.

Xiaoxue immediately rushed forward and threw herself into her mother's arms, completely forgetting the slap she had just received.

Bai Yuqing stretched out her hand and picked up the hair from her little daughter's ears. When she saw the red fingerprints on her cheeks, she first sighed, and then asked with concern: "Does it still hurt?"
